"Clariant has considerably expanded operating cash flow
and also significantly improved its profitability
in the first half of the year,"
"Our good business performance was primarily
achieved by means of
a continued shift to high margin specialities,
the impact of the differentiated steering
in Plastics & Coatings as well as
good cost management.
For 2016, we are on track to achieve our targets
despite the continued
challenging economic environment."
